The '''Army of the Potomac''' was one of the divisions of the [[Union]] [[Army]] in the [[Civil War]]. Then-General [[Ulysses S. Grant]] kept his headquarters with the Army of the Potomac during his tenure as commander in chief.
The [[Confederacy]] also styled one of its divisions "the Army of the Potomac," though the name was short-lived. After the first Battle of Bull Run, the army was renamed "the Army of Northern Virginia," and [[Robert E. Lee]] acceded to the generalship.
